Investing in gender equality requires accountability.
With support from @unwomenafrica (ESARO), UNCT 🇳🇦 is strengthening its capacity to use the Gender Equality Marker (#GEM) to track the gender impact of programme investments and deliver measurable results for women & girls.
Fellow @UNNamibia staff, together with partners, joined the #UNWalkTowards2030 in Windhoek to mark #UNDay2026. @UNFPA was pleased to join this collective effort, which also saw participation of Ambassador of Japan in 🇳🇦 & embassy staff, celebrating our shared commitment to #SDGs.

Oggi all’#ONU celebriamo la prima Giornata dell’Italofonia.
Una lingua non è solo un insieme di parole: è un modo di vedere l’altro e di riconoscerne l’umanità.
In un mondo diviso, servono lingue che creano ponti, non muri.
«L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle»
Women and girls must be able to feel safe in all spaces:
🟠 Their home
🟠 The streets
🟠 The Internet

When we prioritize health across a woman’s entire life course, we build stronger communities.
On #WorldMenopauseDay, let’s champion healthcare that supports healthy, active longevity. Because when women thrive at every age, societies prosper.

The text reads: "Menopause is a natural transition, not a limit to women's potential. Investing in women's health at this stage unlocks opportunities for healthy, active longevity." There is a UNFPA logo in the bottom right corner.

Underinvesting in youth health costs East Africa $1.8B every year. But this isn't just about money, it's about real lives, real choices, & real futures. When we invest in young people, entire communities rise.
